Brooks Atkinson Quotes

We cheerfully assume that in some mystic way love conquers all, that good outweighs evil in the just balances of the universe and at the 11th hour something gloriously triumphant will prevent the worst before it happens Picture Quote #1

There should be a dash of the amateur in criticism. For the amateur is a man of enthusiasm who has not settled down and is not habit bound Picture Quote #1

It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge Picture Quote #1

The cheese and wine party has the form of friendship without the warmth and devotion. It is a device either for getting rid of social obligations hurriedly en mass, or for making overtures towards more serious social relationships, as in the etiquette of whoring Picture Quote #1
